Vermont: Mixed grades State ranks 49th in annual pay WASHINGTON, D.C.—Vermont got some good financial news and some bad financial news this week. While Green Mountain State residents are significantly better prepared to face the 2009 national recession—the worst since the Great Depression—they rank 49 in the nation’s average annual pay category. The mixed news was revealed in a report released Monday by the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED), a national economic nonprofit that receives some federal taxpayer funds for its activities. Among the good news for Vermont: The state earned an “A” on CFED’s 2009-2010 Assets and Opportunity Scorecard. CFED’s Assets & Opportunity Scorecard measures the financial security of families in the United States by looking beyond just income to the whole picture of building ownership and protecting against financial setbacks. The Scorecard ranks the 50 states and the District of Columbia on 58 performance measures in the areas of financial assets and income, businesses and jobs, housing and homeownership, health care and education. The state earned top 10 rankings in 20 different economic indicators, including first-place rankings in areas including minority business ownership, Head Start coverage, and four-year

Riley seeks to take charge of Vt. GOP Health-care debacle helping party Daniel T. Riley has declared his candidacy for the Vermont Republican Party chairmanship. Riley, formerly the Bennington County Republican chairman, has a strong political background. Riley’s political move comes at a time when many Vermont voters are disgruntled by Democrats and the health-care debacle. Record numbers of Vermonters have attended tea party protest rallies in Montpelier, Burlington and Rutland in recent months. The rallies have received scant news coverage in the state. In 2000, Riley coordinated U.S. Sen. John McCain’s campaign in the First Congressional District of New York and became a delegate to the Republican National Convention that same year. Since then he has been active
in Republican politics consulting various organizations and campaigns. “Chairman Rob Roper has decided to move on and will be missed. He has made great strides during his tenure—no small feat considering the political climate he has been working in. Rob helped unite us as a party and make sure our incumbents had the GOP support they needed to get re-elected last year. We are all grateful for his commitment and sacrifice. It would be an honor and privilege to continue and further where Rob is leaving off. Riley said, “State Auditor Tom Salmon, undoubtedly one of the best financial minds in Montpelier, said it best during his departure from the Democratic Party— ’The majority of Vermonters
do not want to see tax increases as a response to poor planning.’” Vermont Republicans will continue to present common sense solutions to the challenges of our state’s future and we believe that the majority of Vermonters will agree, particularly on economic issues. Gov. Jim Douglas, Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, State Auditor Salmon, and the Republicans in the legislature have been seen as unwavering in their positions about reducing state spending and economic growth to ease the burden on hard-working Vermonters, especially in these tough times. Riley will be advising Republican candidates next year to initiate direct voter contact as much as possible and engage our Democratic opponents on issues as often as possible. ”I will work

Security activity reported at the Rutland Airport
See RILEY, page 6
NORTH CLARENDON— Unusual security measures were in place at the Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport during the midmorning hours of Sept. 26; it was not clear what was going on, but there appeared to be a larger presence of state police vehicles and personnel present than usual at the state’s second largest airport. The level of activity last Saturday suggested that it may have been more than just a law-enforcement exercise. Vermont State Police troopers, with an accompanying bomb-squad van, were visible near the main terminal and outlying hangar area. An anonymous neighbor residing near the airport told the Tribune that he had heard
“a high-level government official” was arriving at the state airport. The Tribune could not confirm the comment. Another neighbor, wishing to remain anonymous and residing near the airport, said she believed U.S. Secret Service personnel were involved. The Tribune could not confirm her comments. Airport and law enforcement officials were unavailable for comment. An unidentified private or commercial jet aircraft was seen on an airport taxiway just north of the main terminal. It is unknown if the jet was associated with increased security measures. The Rutland airport is located in North Clarendon, five miles south of the city of Rutland. The facility’s longest runway is 5,000 feet in length.

Retired K-9s get local support Lacey’s Fund helps police dogs
Chester 3 year old. Neutered Male. Border Terrier. Cute and friendly. What more could you ask for in a dog? I am pretty laid back and I enjoy the simple things in life….a good scratch, a nice long walk and a few treats every now and then.
May 12 year old. Spayed Female. Beagle/German Shepherd mix. I am a mellow senior dog who is looking for a quiet home where I can take it easy. I am not a high maintenance or picky dog, a few snacks and a cushy bed are all I am looking for.
Pookie 2 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Long Hair Siamese Mix. I seem a little shy and like to hide but if you know about Siamese breeds that is my personality. I would really like a quiet home so that I can just sit in a window and watch the world go by.

SHELBURNE—Vermont-based Good Dog! Cookies company recently held a raffle to benefit retired police dogs through Lacey’s Fund. The fund was established by Kirk and Loretta Walters of Shelburne in honor of their dog Lacey, with the goal of helping to provide K-9 handlers who are members of the Vermont Police Canine Association with the resources needed to allow their retired canine partners to live out the remainder of their days in good health. Good Dog! Cookies owner Cris PhelpsBrown said, “We have always made a monthly donation to a Vermont animal rescue organization, but had decided we could have a greater impact by focusing on one organization year-round. We learned about Lacey’s Fund from the K-9 handlers at this year ’s
Petapalooza and were amazed that the state or local police agencies don’t provide medical care for their police dogs after retirement. The dogs work hard in a stressful job and can be injured or develop serious medical conditions. Once they retire, their handler becomes personally responsible for their care, which can be very expensive.” Tickets for the raffle prize—a basket of dog cookies and dog toys—were sold at Friday Night Live and the Saturday farmers’ market last month. The raffle netted $83 for Lacey’s Fund, and Cathy Zier of Conyers, Ga. won the basket. For more information about Lacey’s Fund and the Vermont Police Canine Association, log onto www.vtpca.com.

Douglas tries to avoid state layoffs The Douglas administration announced that it would seek two furlough days and five unpaid holidays as a means to find $7.4 million in labor savings as directed by the Vermont Legislature’s Joint Fiscal Committee. This proposal is an effort to reach a compromise on labor savings and avoid reductions in force at this time. To find middle ground, the offer today does not include a FY 2010 pay reduction —as did prior administration offers—and relies on furlough days and unpaid holidays, which are temporary savings that complicate budget problems in coming fiscal years. However, the offer does require the Vermont State Employees Association (VSEA) to agree to find long-term savings, which are essential to bend the curve on labor costs and fill a more than $200 million budget gap for FY 2011 & FY 2012. “This proposal is a big step for the Administration in our efforts to reach a compromise that prevents the need to make reductions in the state workforce at this time,” said Secretary of Admin-
istration Neale Lunderville. “It is now up to VSEA to decide if they are willing to compromise with us and work to find long-term sustainable labor savings over the next two years.” In the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression, state employees have enjoyed on average a 7.0 percent pay increase at a time when state revenues are declining and thousands of private sector employees have been laid-off or had their wages cut. Many elected officials and Administration appointees have already seen a 5 percent pay cut as well as a salary freeze since July 1, 2008. “This level of growth we have seen in labor costs is simply unrealistic and unsustainable,” Lunderville said. “Our fiscal challenges demand difficult choices, not more quick fixes. The administration is willing to make a shortterm deal only if we have a commitment for real and long-term savings next year. This compromise offer is fair in the short-run and responsible for the long-run. It acknowledges the challenges ahead while avoiding layoffs in
the near-term.” The details of the offer: •Applying two furlough days in FY 10: $1.9 million •Accepting five unpaid holidays in FY10: $3.7 million •Using projected surplus in state medical plan: $1.7 million •Eliminating tuition reimbursement: $0.1 million Total: $7.4 million (all $GF) Also, the administration will not seek additional layoffs if November consensus revenue forecast declines not more than $14 million. The administration retains rights to reduce workforce under normal stipulated conditions. Both parties will agree to sustainable labor cost savings as part of their FY 2011 & FY 2012 agreements to produce $16.1 million and $21.9 million in savings, respectively. Discussions between the administration and the VSEA are expected to continue throughout the next few weeks.

I’m throwin’ my baseball cap in the ring!
L
every Vermonter is on the road to being physically and mentally fit, then, I’ll go back to my health advisors and ask them what they’ve come up with and they’ll tell me there’s little need for much health care now that everyone is striving, everyday, to be fit. Vote for me! On the stump when you compliment me on my decision to campaign for a position as a public servant, I’ll reply, “Servant, hey wait a minute, I’ll be getting paid won’t I?” On the stump, if asked what my qualifications are, I’d admit that though I’ve no applied structural experience within state government, my twelve years of experience running a successful entertainment brand within Vermont, New Hampshire and northern New York, a brand that requires constant contact with all ages and diverse socio economic groups, is sufficient enough a resume to attract votes. I’ll point to evidence that shows I’m at most all the local summer fairs (every day, mostly all day, by Choice) every year, while most all my opponents go only on election years. Opponents, you can say you’re of the people, but it’s best to be one of the people. Votes! Yeah, that’s what we’re talking. Procedure and intricacies of deal making one can learn. Being welcome on the road, without an attached title, is a blessing, a gift. A gift that keeps giving, at the polls don’t ya know? In so much (see, I’m already getting the hang of campaign speak), as I’m already in every nook and cranny of the state, campaigning won’t cost me, or you, anything— you won’t be getting lack luster calls from me soliciting campaign funds. I’ll pay my way, like that guy Rich Tarrant. I still say if we were nicer to him when he was running for the U.S. Senate, he might have personally kickedin the $28 million our legislature has been looking for to balance the budget. I just saw Obama on “60 Minutes” chatting about his health care thing. I like Barry—cool dude, smart; I wish him the very best. But in this “60 Minutes” piece there was not one speck of explanation of one speck of his health plan. He just used the interview to randy up his—what at this point is somewhat of a threatened—good reputation. I’ll tell you the truth: I won’t worry about my reputation. I know once I get in I too will have to play the games. But while I’m playing them, I’ll be reporting back to you all about them. Vote for me! Why not? Or, vote for you? Why not? America is great. One more thing: You vote me in as governor of Vermont and I’ll get a group of hard old Vermonter guys and gals together—the kind they write stories about—and I’ll send ‘em over to the Middle East to get Osama. If them Vermonters can make something that tastes like syrup, outta somethin’ that tastes like sap, they can find Osama. Vote for me!

ast week’s column promised a big announcement in this week’s column. Here it is—um, wait, what the heck was it? Ah, yeah, I’m running for governor. Either governor or lieutenant governor—next time elections come around which I think is November 2010. Sorry, I forgot for a second what the big announcement was but the column about the upcoming big announcement was written a whole week ago; since I haven’t thought much about my bid for guv. or lt. guv, I’ve had more important stuff going on, and I just forgot. But yeah, I might run. At least by saying “I forgot,” I’m being honest unlike other politico hopefuls who fill us with a whole bunch of “viable option for me,” “highly unlikely,” and “nevertheless I’ve learned to never say never ’s” — when all along they know danged well whether they’ll run or not. Politician Speak 101 bores me, to be honest—frankly, clearly, understandably, evidently, and substantively, it does. See. You bored yet? Politicians are good at saying nothing while saying something, which the media loves; if politicians said nothing w/o saying something, the media folks would be jobless. Saying nothing (while saying something) is rude, but it’s politics; that’s why, though I know nothing about specifics of hot topics such as Vermont Yankee, the fiasco that is FairPoint (or even farmer suffrage), you should vote for me in 2010 because when I say something about anything, I’ll say it in a manner that’s direct. You’ll know where I stand, even if it means I could lose your vote. When the news media folks ask me why I want to be governor, I’ll answer the same as the other candidates: I love Vermont! I want to help keep it safe, prosperous and beautiful, for us and our children’s children. I want to help bring sturdy and steady businesses and industry to the state. I want to help create good jobs. I want to improve our educational institutions so our youth will stride into the workplace well equipped to succeed. I want to set Vermont into a position of strength, one that’s attractive and that will prompt our youth to stay—bingady-boom. Vote for me. Where other candidates might stop, I’ll continue. I want to be governor, ‘cause crap, how cool would that be? How much more to be a hit at dinner parties will my sis in New Mexico be after telling everyone that her brother is Vermont’s new governor. I get my own driver. I get great pay and benefits. They’ll paint a big picture of me in the capitol. I get to attend cool parties in Washington (where I’ll get to meet celebrities). And a good job done could springboard me into a national senate seat (high school for misfits?). With at least 50 percent more pay and an almost lock on a long-term seat. It might be hard work and it’s far from home, but chances are they’ll name a building or two after me. Once I retired, I’d get a killer pension. I gotta admit, my reasons to run for governor include all those things. Wouldn’t yours? You know where I stand. Vote for me! Next year ’s race will be full and frantic; plain speak should be welcome, but will hardly be on display. We’ll have candidates talking about either a new, or the same old national health care system (who will know very little if anything at all about the plan’s specifics). They’ll blip and blap about this and that and the handful of voters who spend any time trying to decipher what the candidates stand for will be hard pressed to recognize any difference between what’s real or imagined. But by gosh, those who vote will pick someone to vote for just the same. On the stump, you can ask me about health care and I’ll say: I’ll put my thoughtfully chosen crack team of health advisors on it, but in the meantime I’ll work tirelessly on illness prevention, on educating Vermont’s precious population on proper nutrition, rest and exercise. I’ll create outlets, free, that will provide help to those who struggle with mental health. I’ll not give in until

Cum grano salis
T
wo blue states presently experiencing high-income-taxpayer flight are California and Vermont. Other high-tax states are experiencing upper-end property-taxpayer departures for similar reasons—Florida and New Jersey, for example—but, from the taxman’s point of view, state governments don’t care because the real estate always remains, albeit under new ownership. The previous owner can’t very well depart without first finding his replacement, presumably someone more compliant and willing than he to cough up his annual fair share. Conversely, the exit of the high-income taxpayer leaves an unfilled monetary gap, as New York State and New York City have both learned when high marginal rate taxpayers have lost top-income-quintile jobs in the current downturn. They’ll get a refresher lesson when the first tranche of the New York Stock Exchange departure for the exurbs, from lower Manhattan to Mahwah, N.J., the relocation of the rapid-trading hub, soon takes place, but that’s another tale for another time. Such flight is so patently unfair to state governments trying desperately to orchestrate just the equitable level of social justice via wealth-transfer from producers to consumers (with a little skimmed off the top for the orchestra-players and conductors, of course) that it oughtta be outlawed or at least regulated via an internal passport system. So it was in the Soviet Union about which Progressive writer Lincoln Steffens wrote in 1921: “I have seen the future and it works.” But I propose only an eminently reasonable exit fee, primarily to discourage such anti-social behavior, but also for government to profit from it if it can’t be dissuaded (kinda like the cig tax, doncha know). For starters it could be applicable only to the highest income taxpayers, just like the new federal income tax in 1913 which initially applied a 7 percent rate only to the top 1 percent of wage-earners, but then it could quickly grow, as the income tax did, to a top marginal rate of 77 percent by 1918. Today, of course, the income tax is applicable to the top 55 percent, as an exit fee oughtta be. A year’s worth of earnings, reflecting maybe 15 future years of lost-to-the-state taxable earnings at say 7 percent seems fair to me, as an objective observer. At first blush, you might think that the U.S. Supreme Court (not the States’ courts, which have come up with some doozies in their time, like the one in Vermont which found that a beer-drinker parked in his own driveway was actually on the public highway for ethanol industry support purposes) would frown upon such restrictions of free interstate commerce. Consider, for example, the SCOTUS rulings described in earlier columns in this space which required both wheat and marijuana grown for personal, intra-state consumption to be regulated just as if they were in inter-state trade; but then also consider the absence of a similar ruling regarding the presently-prohibited selling of health insurance
WEDNESDAY September 30, 2009
Reader Mail: Are Photocopies of Coupons Legal?
O
nce again, I'd love to answer some questions from readers like you who are learning to supercoupon:
Q: "My friend and I have been reading your column every week and we love your tips. My question is about Internet coupons. I know that you can usually print two copies of each one. We would all like to have more coupons. My friend said it is okay to make a copy of the coupons that print from the computer but I don't think this is right. Is it?" A: Many new coupon users wrongfully assume it is okay to make a photocopy of Internet-printed coupons. Since they printed it out from their computer, they conclude it must be okay to make more. But making photocopies of coupons is illegal. It's coupon fraud. I've often equated this to photocopying a dollar bill. We all know that's illegal! And it's illegal to copy coupons, too. Internet coupons have unique identifiers and barcodes. When a store submits their coupons to be redeemed, a coupon clearinghouse scans the barcodes and the store receives reimbursement for each unique barcode. If you make a photocopy of a $1 Internet coupon, each copy will be identical to the one before it. If you make 20 copies and use them all at the same store, your store will only be reimbursed for one of those coupons. You will essentially be stealing $19 from your store since the store no be paid for the bogus coupons. Truthfully, we all pay the price when shoppers copy coupons and submit them for savings. In many areas, stores have become increasingly wary of Internet coupons. Some refuse to accept them at all, a big frustration for shoppers. Finding and printing out coupons using the Internet is a great way to supplement the coupons we receive in the newspaper each week, allowing us to obtain a larger number of coupons for the items we buy the most. Companies that offer printable coupons on the Internet usually set the coupons' print limit at two copies, so always go back and try to print the coupon again until you've received the message that the coupon is at its print limit. Remember, there are also times that a printable coupon will have higher print
across state lines, or the several never-challenged restrictions on interstate commerce involving a variety of internetbased sales, wine in particular. New York State and New York City, a couple of decades back, had some special taxes for New Jersey and Connecticut commuters, and the court never blinked. I’d guess that the new court, with its new emphasis on empathy (particularly toward at-risk state budget goals) might turn a friendly judicial face to states seeking to discourage their more lucrative citizen/taxpayer profit-centers from departing. SCOTUS itself has had some ideal-budget shortfalls and inflation-adjusted pay cuts in recent years, even before it became more group-identity empathic recently. If you’re uncomfortable with the bluntness of the “exit fee” label, you might consider an alternative—such as negative impact fee. Positive impact fees are already accepted governmental profit-centers in various jurisdictions across the country, billing new development based on estimates of the new costs it will generate for the taxpayers in existing development. A negative impact fee would cover the opposite calamity: taxpayers who abandon their rightful obligation and ungratefully flee. It should be argued that over the years, such undeservedly fortunate folks, who prospered under the aegis of a beneficial state government, didn’t actually pay for all the goodies they got. A score of years ago, op-ed writer Tim Ferguson made exactly that point for the Wall Street Journal when he wrote that farm income consisted not only of the admittedly skimpy proceeds from commodities—but more importantly—but also of the intangible joys of glorious sunrises, sunsets, and green fields as well (none of which would be theirs if it weren’t for the beneficial presence and labors of government, exit-fee advocates would claim) which the growers of corn and the milkers of cows got for free. If the exit-fee principle were applied, not only to the selfish rich, but to the working-age young adults in the 25-44 age group now fleeing Vermont for better pay and cheaper cost of living elsewhere, it would be of great benefit to the already overtasked and under-funded public school system. Of course, younger folks in the middle-income quintiles wouldn’t be able to pay the exit fee so easily. They’d be sort of like eager-to-exit property owners, who need to—but can’t—find someone to take their place and assume their rightful obligations to state government. Former Vermont architect Martin Harris is a regular contributer to New Market Press newspapers.
limits, too. Recently, a major cereal manufacturer had a $1 coupon on its Web site with a print limit of 14! That was a great opportunity to get a lot of coupons at one time. But it's never worth committing coupon fraud and risking prosecution over photocopying coupons.

Q: "My question is about expired coupons. One of the stores in my area will take them. But will the store get reimbursed for these, too, or are they just eating the loss when they accept expired coupons?" A: When a store gets ready to redeem coupons, it gathers all of the coupons that customer have submitted, packages them up and submits them to a coupon clearinghouse. The clearinghouse weeds out expired coupons and fraudulent, copied coupons. After that, the clearinghouse invoices to the manufacturer for the value of all of the coupons received during that period. At that point, the manufacturer pays the store back for the coupons that have been redeemed. Depending on when the store submits its coupons to the clearinghouse, some expired coupons may still be valid for reimbursement. But if you're using coupons that are several years old, the store is definitely "eating" the loss on those coupons. So why do some stores do it? It gives shoppers an incentive to choose that store over its competition. Accepting expired coupons may give them an edge over a store in the same market that does not accept them. © CTW Features Jill Cataldo, a coupon-workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

A piece of the action

ith more news last week concerning the discovery of water on the Moon, there may yet be a lunar land rush. While we don’t think an extraterrestrial land rush is going to happen anytime soon, the next 50 to 100 years may see a combination of government and commercial interests staking out pieces of off-Earth real estate action. To get in on the new lunar craze, now may be a good time to invest in our silvery neighbor in space. At the very least, such a small investment of capital makes for a fun, educational gift for any astronomer on your shopping list. In the past few years, several websites have popped up offering final-frontier speculators a piece of the Moon—and Mars. A deed to your hunk of extraterrestrial turf costs around $25 including shipping and handling. Your own little piece of airless lunar paradise comes identified on a parchment deed with an accompanying map. I received my own piece of the Moon; it happens to be located northwest of the giant crater Copernicus in the vast volcanic basin (maria) called the “Ocean of Storms” on the western edge of Luna’s nearside. My property is covered by powdery regoltih and volcanic basalt, but I am sure I can make use of it—somehow. Someday. The idea of buying real estate on the Moon may seem like just another nutty gift-idea ripoff—much like the radio commercials that promise to name a star after a loved one. But unlike the bogus “International Star Registry” advertising comeons (only the International Astronomical Union has the right to officially name stars and other celestial objects), there actually may be a legal claim when it comes to private versus international ownership of the Moon’s real estate and mineral rights. According to various reports, more than 2.5 million people from 180 countries have bought property on the Moon and Mars in sales that have reached over $1 million. “The pronouncements are bold. The revenue is real. And a lunar land grab... is well underway,” according to science writer Robert Roy Britt. “Most of the buyers are individuals who are convinced that $19.99 plus shipping and handling will secure them a building site on another world. Some 1,300 corporations, many hoping for otherworldly tax status, are also said to be among the clients.” Most space lawyers—yes, they actually exist—say the 1967 United Nations Outer Space Treaty forbids private ownership of the Moon or any other celestial body. Yet others claim there may be a serious chink
in the U.N.’s rusting treaty armor. Britt says that the current “virtual” lunar land rush foretells court battles to come. The leader of the current lunar land rush is American space entrepreneur Dennis Hope. Hope sells lunar deeds online through his Lunar Embassy company (www.lunarembassy.com). "We're not trying to fool anybody about anything," Hope said in a Space.com news report by Britt. "The properties we sell are as legitimate as any property you buy anywhere on this planet." Hope’s Lunar Embassy enterprise plans to claim the Moon in the near future via a privately built robot lander to plant his corporate flag on the lunar regolith. It will be the first private challenge to the 1967 U.N. treaty—a treaty many space enthusiasts, inspired by the late science-fiction author Robert A. Heinlein, believe is worthless. They want to challenge the influence of the spooky International Institute of Space Law which is actually an anti-free enterprise organization run by world-government types. "We believe it will change the history of this world," Hope said. "...The Lunar Embassy will be on the Moon. Our representative will then turn to a video camera and read a prepared statement validating our claim of ownership." Hope believes the major legal loophole in the 1967 United Nations Outer Space Treaty is that the document proclaims no government can own extraterrestrial property—it says nothing about individual or corporate ownership of the Moon. He may be on to something. What’s in the Sky: On Oct. 1, the Big Dipper reels majestically in the northwestern sky early after sunset. The dipper is a portion of the constellation Ursa Major, Latin for the Great Bear. Curiously, this constellation has been identified as a bear by several ancient peoples including the American Iroquois and the Biblical Jews. No one has been able to explain the connection. Coincedence or evidence of ancient multi-cultural contact? Lou Varricchio, M.Sc. is a former NASA science writer. Is a member of the NASA-JPL Solar System Ambassador program in Vermont.

RUTLAND TRIBUNE - 5
SADD students to help Vt. National Guard Train not viable RUTLAND—Five students from the Rutland area, representing their schools’ SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) Chapter went to a three day-long Youth Advisory Committee training which was held at the Killington Grand Hotel. The five area students were part of a group of about 40 students. The students, Youth Advisory Committee members, act as liaisons from their school’s SADD Chapter to the statewide organization. The Youth Advisory Committee members receive specialized training in leadership, running a chapter, SADD programs, the yearly calendar of events, and issues that are of importance to students. The highlighted special issues this time were Internet and cell telephone safety and a discussion about the minimum drinking age. Students also participated in a presentation by the National Guard’s Family Support Unit. Vermont’s SADD members will be taking on the cause on a statewide basis and will raise funds or items for the families of Vermont National Guard members. The participating students, who are leaders in their respective school communities, included Taylor Trombley, a sophomore from Proctor High School, Emily Turgeon, from Castleton, a jun-

Coolidge State Park offers miles of hiking trails By Angela DeBlasio PLYMOUTH—It may be that summer is over but outdoor recreation is still viable in Vermont. Case in point: I hiked a trail at beautiful Coolidge State Park last week just as the leaves began to change. The Coolidge State Forest, of which the park is a small parcel, contains a total of 18,511 acres scattered throughout seven towns. To get there from Plymouth, just travel at the junction of Route 100 and Route 100A. Then, travel two miles north on Route 100A to reach the park. A brief history states that this park was the birthplace of Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of the United States, a Vermont resident. Here, the Coolidge homestead is maintained by the Vermont Board of Historic Sites complete with the furnishings that were present the night of his inauguration in 1923. It was in 1925 when Perry Merrill purchased a tract of land in Plymouth; he began to put together his dream of Calvin Coolidge State Forest. Because the land was near the Calvin Coolidge homestead, an historic site that interested many people, he believed funds could be obtained to develop the area. Today, the recreational heart of the forest is at Coolidge State Park. The park makes up 500 acres in the forest’s eastern district. The park includes a campground, picnic area and an established hiking trail system. Coolidge State Park offers camping, picnicking, an established hiking trail system, hunting and a playground. Cross-country skiing permitted in winter by walking around entrance gate; all facilities closed includ-

My friend and I spent the afternoon enjoying a picnic lunch in Vermont’s great outdoors at the park. Then we went on to explore the scenic trails of the network system and saw several gorgeous views of nearby hills. There was plenty of wildlife to be seen including a riot of plant life. We observed sweeping vistas of the Black River Valley and the Green Mountain range. Within the park, there are miles of hiking trails to explore, several streams home to elusive brook trout, and abundant wildlife. If you’re lucky
you may enjoy a glimpse of a barred owl, a moose, or black bear. But be careful and do not taunt wildlife. This unique forested park offers a perfect nearby escape for us busy Vermonters—an increasing number in recent decades. There are fees to access the park. Talk with the park’s staffers to learn more or call 672-3612 before you visit. You can also get better prepared for your adventure by visiting the state park website at www.vtstateparks.com/htm/coolidge .cfm.

FLORENCE—The next gathering of Woman Quest in Florence will be Sunday, Oct. 4, 1:30-3:30 p.m., at the Inner Light Transformation Center. The gathering’s topic will be “Becoming Healthier”. Woman Quest is a monthly group created to help women make a commitment to themselves to heal, grow and make changes: $25 per woman. Call Nancy Scarcello for directions and to RSVP by Oct. 2 at 483-6152. New women welcome. Attend when able. Call Teresa King at 4424488 with any other questions.
The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) and the New England Central Railroad (NECR) are seeking $52 million in federal funds to boost the speed of Amtrak’s Vermonter intercity passenger service and increase NECR’s capacity for heavier freight carloads. If awarded the grant, NECR will contribute 10 percent of project costs. Plans for the two-year project include upgrades to heavier continuously welded rail, bridge work, new tie installation and ballast work along 191 track miles. The project would be funded through the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) program, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. NECR is a “host railroad” for the Vermonter, which runs daily between St. Albans, Vt., and Washington, D.C., and operates over a 236-mile portion of NECR’s track between St. Albans and Palmer, Mass. Upgrades would be made to 191 miles of this route, from St. Albans to the Vermont/Massachusetts state line. Between 2005 and 2008, the Vermonter experienced a dramatic 44-percent increase in ridership, while achieving the second-highest on-time performance across the Amtrak system. The 236-mile portion of the Vermonter route that runs on the NECR is heavily used, with more than 77,000 passengers in 2008 alone. NECR is the main freight route through Vermont, operating 394 miles between the Vermont/Quebec borders and New London, Conn., and interchanging with four Class-One railroads. A RailAmerica property, NECR carries an average of 37,000 carloads per year, delivering heating fuel, road salt, lumber and steel products across Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The FRA has designated a portion of NECR – from White River Junction, Vt., to the Canadian border – as a high-speed intercity passenger rail corridor. The designation is based on the corridor ’s present utility and potential for future development. “We believe the project is an ideal candidate for the HSIPR program,” said VTrans Secretary of Transportation David Dill. “It’s a shovel-ready project in a high-growth area and meets a clear transportation need. In addition, we’re confident in our partnership with NECR, which has a strong track record of participating in several successful public-private partnerships, including the Bellows Falls Tunnel-clearance project and the Burlington Tunnel restoration.” On the upgraded portion of track, scheduled running time for the Vermonter would be reduced by about a half hour, and passenger-train track speeds in signaled territory would increase from 59 to 79 miles per hour. In addition, the upgraded track would be capable of handling 286,000-pound freight cars. Currently the track is restricted to 263,000 pounds. “The increased freight-load capacity will greatly improve NECR’s competitiveness,” said Charles Hunter, RailAmerica’s Director of State Relations – East. “The Class-One industry standard for freight-load capacity is 286,000 pounds. With these upgrades, we will now be able to transport intermodal traffic received from the Class Ones in the ‘286K’ cars generally used for trans-continental moves.”
Coates identifies state’s “dangerous trends” RUTLAND—The Rutland County Pro-Business Coalition and The Vermont Business Roundtable sponsored a unique public service event Sept. 29; the event, entitled “Dangerous Trends”, was presented by David Coates. Coates met with Rutland-area businesspeople and community leaders and discussed the fiscal health of Vermont. The meeting took place at the College of St. Joseph’s Tuttle Hall Theatre. Coates was an advisor to state government, including Vermont’s last four governors. He has provided advice to key lawmakers and government officials and developed his “Dangerous Trends” from research regarding the impacts of unfunded liabilities on the state’s future. His discussion included mention of retirement liabilities for state employees and teacher pension funds. According to Jim Eckhardt, Rutland County Pro-Business Coalition president, Coates’ message should be heard by a wider audience including Vermont taxpayers, business owners, and local and state lawmakers. “It is vitally important that all the stakeholders in Vermont’s fiscal future understand how serious this situation could be for our state,” Coates told attendees in Rutland. “Effective fiscal reform cannot happen without honest dialogue about our current situation and trends for the future.” Coates’ presentation was moderated by College of St. Joseph President Frank Migliore and was followed by a question and answer period. Coates is a former managing partner of KPMG in Burlington and currently serves as a member of the Governor ’s Council of Economic Advisors and the Treasurer of Vermont Municipal Bond Bank. He is a member of the Capital Debt Affordability Advisory Committee for the state, and the Vermont Institute on Government Effectiveness.

She will present an overview of the history of women's rights in Iraq under dictator Saddam Hussein and how these rights were affected by the joint U.S. and Coalition forces military mission.
Riley From page 1 campaigning effort, which he acknowledges the Democrats have done a good job at in recent years. He is also steadfast about building more of a team atmosphere amongst the GOP ranks and to expand the size the team in the coming years. “The young and college Republican organizations are on an unprecedented upswing and we need to continue to foster that growth —they are the future of the GOP.” Riley has been traveling around the state during the past month engaging in discussion about his ideas for the future of the Vermont GOP: “It has been invigorating meeting, speaking with, and listening to fellow Republicans across the state. Their commitment, drive and energy are truly motivating and inspiring to me. I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and spending time campaigning with them next year.” Riley believes the next leader of the Vermont Republican Party is going to have to possess strong political skill, political will, energy, drive, and determination to guide the GOP back to a majority. “I am not going to take anything for granted and plan to continue campaigning to be the next chair of the Vermont Republican Party until the vote on Nov. 14,” he said.
Grades From page 1 college degree attainment by race. However, it was found that Vermont needs to improve significantly in several critical areas: the state ranks 49 in average annual pay, 48 in both average college debt and four-year college degree attainment by gender, 51 in women- owned business value, and 43 in minority-owned business value. By not addressing these low rankings, Vermont’s economic security may be at risk in future years, according to the Scorecard. The Scorecard notes that Vermont’s policymakers must create opportunities to support the financial well-being of their constituents. To remove barriers to saving for very low-income households, the organization suggested that Vermont should eliminate asset limits in its Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Medicaid programs, as it has for its Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Vermont, it said, should also make postsecondary education more affordable and encourage students to save by matching deposits in 529 college savings accounts. The Scorecard found Vermont lacked in investing in entrepreneurs by expanding its microloan program so that funds can also be used to deliver essential technical assistance and training to microentrepreneurs, especially for women and minorities. Top performers on the 2009-2010 Scorecard—those states that earned an overall “A” in performance measures—include Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Vermont, Washington and Wyoming.

RUTLAND TRIBUNE - 7
Amery rushes Slaters past the Blue Devils FHUHS vs. PHS sees big upset By Frederick Pockette Fair Haven running back Evan Amery converted 13 carries into 111 yards and three touchdowns to lead his hometown Slaters to a convincing 36-14 win over the visiting Poultney Blue Devils last Friday evening in high school football action. The victorious Slaters also received rushing touchdowns from David Atkins and Kody Bardin Among his 111 yards Amery had touchdown runs of 10, 14 and 3 yards. Bardin opened the game’s scoring with an 11-yard TD run and Atkin’s touchdown was from six yards out. Fair Haven didn’t just run the ball however. Slater senior quarterback Jessie Maynard completed 11 of his 17 pass attempts to Amery, Mac Stannard, Levi Ellis and Bardin for 131 yards, effectively keeping Poultney’s defense honest. The Blue Devils, after falling behind 21-0, battled back to get within seven at 21-14, before seeing the game slip away for good. On the last play of the first half, while being tackled, Poultney quarterback Skyler Staples (completed 11 of 24 pass attempts for 147 yards and a touchdown) found Nate Bourn in the end zone for a six yard touchdown pass, making it 21-6 at the break. Then on the opening kickoff of the second half Poultney’s John Fairbanks stripped the ball from Fair Haven kick returner Derick Hernandez’s hands. Fairbanks, after gaining possession of the football, took it 40 yards to the end zone. Staples successful 2-point coversion run made it 21-14. But that is as close as Poultney would get. Fair Haven improved to 2-2 with the win, while Poultney fell to 1-3 on the year. On the same night in Winooski the Mill River Minutemen engaged in an offensive slugfest with the hometown Spartans, and came up on the short end of a 52-31score. For the victorious Spartans it was all about running the football, as they gained more than 500 yards on the ground against a helpless Mill River defense, and the Grant brothers, along with Cyle Chaplin led the way. Gary Grant rushed for 201 yards to lead all running backs, including a pair of 80 yard touchdown runs, and another from 32 yards out. Chaplin, who had a 54-yard touchdown run, followed Gary Grant with 179 rushing yards. Geoffrey Grant added another 175 rushing yards to the Spartan’s deadly ground attack, including a pair of 75-yard touchdown runs, and a one-yarder late in the game. Mill River Quarterback Tyler Wood led the Minutemen with three rushing touchdowns and a passing touchdown. The Rutland Raiders and Otter Valley Otters suffered defeat last weekend as well. Rutland traveled to Foxborough Massachusetts only to get hammered by the hometown
Patriots 42-7. Rutland's lone touchdown came when Troy Davine completed a 35 yard touchdown pass to Mike Triller. It was the Rutland falls to 3-1 overall. Meanwhile in Brandon last Saturday the Otter Valley Otters lost on the last play of the game in front of a homecoming crowd. With OV ahead 16-14 and just over one second left on the clock. With the ball on the Otter ’s thirty the visiting Mount Mansfield Cougars lined up to what amounted to a 47-yard field goal. They missed the field goal, game over, right? Wrong. An unidentified Otter, who was in the end zone to guard against a fake, fielded the missed field goal and then thinking the game was over spiked the ball and began celebrating. However, because he had fielded the ball it was still live, and a Cougar fell on it in the end zone for 20-16 Cougar win. Mount Mansfield improved to 3-1 with the win, while the Otters fell to 1-3 on the year.
Otter Sticksters Grab Homecoming Win In Brandon, Shayna McDonough scored nine minutes in overtime to propel Otter Valley to a 3-2 win over Mount Anthony last Saturday in division II field hockey action. Otter Valley jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead when Kristy Pinkham fed Emily Waldrip, who coverted the pass into a goal, and an early 1-0 Otter lead. The Patriots answered with unanswered goals from Kassie Hoag and Lizzie CurtinKassie to take a 2-1 lead. It looked lik the Patriots might hang on to claim the win, but with just three minutes left Pinkham, assisted by McDonough, scored to tie it at 2-2, and set the stage for McDonough’s overtime heroics. Chelsea Robbins made 11 saves in the net for the Otters, who improved to 6-1-1 with the win. MAU goalie Brenna Elwell made four saves for the visiting Patriots. The win pushed the Otters' record to 6-11, setting up a big game at powerful Windsor on Tuesday. Otter Valley goalie Chelsea Robbins was busy with 11 saves. Mount Anthony outshot the Otters 13-7 and had an 8-4 edge in penalty corners. The Rutland Raiders field hockey team was on the road last Friday in Manchester, where they delivered a 3-0 shutout to the hometown Burr and Burton Bulldogs. The Raiders dominated the contest from the outset, out-shooting their hosts 20-2. This was evident by the fact that Rutland goalies Sam Rajsky and Danielle Greco needed to make just a pair of saves between them to claim the shutout. The final would have been much worse
than 3-0 if Michaela Lewis hadn’t been in the net for the hometown Bulldogs. The goalie was impressive, and she turned in 17 saves to prove it. Taylor Kresconko, Kristen Trevino and Trevino scored for the Raiders, who remained perfect at 7-0 with the win.
Phantoms Deliver Shutout, Still Perfect Keagan McDonnell recorded a hat trick to lead his Proctor Phantoms to a 5-0 win over Long Trail in high school boys soccer action last Saturday in Pittsford. Ricky Carroll and Calvin Knowles rounded out Proctor ’s scoring with single goals. John Connell contributed a pair of assists to the win and Josh Tarnovich added one more. Proctor goalie Justin Ratti made three saves to earn the shutout for Proctor,who improved to 7-0 with the win. Long Trail's goalie John Krieg made 10 saves in a losing effort. Meanwhile the Otter Valley Otters continued to struggle with their offense. The Otters were in action last Saturday, and were again shutout. Colin Hagenbarth scored three goals to lift the visiting Woodstock Wasps to a 3-0 win in division II soccer action. The 0-5 Otters, who after Saturdays game had still not scored a goal this year, came all so close in this one, blasting three shots off the crossbar. Wasps goalie Nick Brands stopped 10 shots to post the shutout while Gran Robin made three saves for the winless Otters. On Friday night in Poultney the West Rutland Golden Horde snapped their scoreless streak. The visiting Horde scored 4 times and delivered a 4-0 loss to the hometown Blue Devils. Adan Garcia led the charge with three goals and Greg Dupree added the fourth. As good as Garcia was junior Blue Devil goalie Michael Condon, who was starting in
his first game, was just as impressive. The junior made turned in an incredible 17 saves. Emmitt Ackerman stopped two shots for the 2-4 Horde. Things didn’t go so well last Friday for either the Mill River Minutemen or the Mount Saint Joseph Mounties. In North Clarendon Rory Silenan scored a pair of goals, and his teammate Sam Polas added another as the visiting Hartford Hurricanes blanked the hometown Minutemen 3-0. Hartford goalie Ben Pfister made four shots to earn the shutout for 5-1 Hurricanes. Luke Davis recorded six saves for Mill River, who fell to 3-2-1 with the loss. Last Friday wasn‘t a great day for the Mounties either. .After Jonas Seldhaus scored to give MSJ an early 1-0 lead but then watched that lead vanish as the visiting Arlington Eagles responded with five unanswered goals to claim a 5-1 win. Net minder Ryan Boyd made five saves for the victorious Eagles while Ethan Wincowski posted an impressive 19 saves for the Mounties who fell to 1-5 on the year.
Raiders Blank Mount Greylock Liz Douglass had two goals and an assist to lead her Rutland Raiders to a 4-0 win over Mount Greylock last Friday in girls high school soccer action. In a game that was totally controlled by Rutland Caitlin scored her first varsity goal and Ali Dorion added a goal to round out the Raiders scoring. Rutland improved to 3-3-1 with the shutout. Meanwhile in Brandon the same evening Burr and Burton Academy's Michaela Madden’s second half goal was the difference in a 1-0 win Bulldog win over the hometown Otters. The game should have been a slaughter, as the visiting Bulldogs denied the Otters any shots on goal, while their offense managed 17. Otter keeper Erin Trombley was up to the challenge though, stopping 16 of them to keep OV in the game right up to the end. The Otters fell to 1-3-1 with the loss.

E. Poultney runner wins women’s race By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Aaron Robertson raced to a course record in leading his team to victory at the fifth annual Footrace at Fort Ticonderoga Sept. 26. Robertson, from Rouses Point, was clocked in 16 minutes, 15 seconds over the 3.1-mile cross country course at the fort. Katy Duffy of East Poultney, Vt., won the women’s race in 20:32. The race, which raises money for the annual Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship, attracted more than 100 runners from five states and Canada. It raised more than $1,000 for the scholarship. Robertson’s team, Colonial Clockwork, took the top three places in the race to capture the overall team event. Tony Casey and Morgan Pellerin rounded out the club. The Pretty Ponyz — Heidi teRiele Karkoski, Hannah Herbst and Markie teRiele — won the open women’s team title. The Graney Bunch — Mike Graney, Evan Graney and Mike Graney Jr. — won the family team award. The Spirit Award went to the team of Jim Cunningham, Red McDonough and Dave Rutkowski. This year ’s race held special significance because it came the day after Duane Crammond was inducted into the Ticonderoga High School Hall of Fame. Crammond, the valedictorian of the Ti High Class of 1999, was a cross country and track champion in high school. He went on to become an honor student at RPI, where he majored in engineering and was captain of the college’s cross country team. He was also the leading distance runner on RPI’s indoor and outdoor track teams. He was also a member of the Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum
Corps. After graduation from college, Crammond dominated local races. In 2003 he won the Montcalm Mile in Ticonderoga and the Race the Train event in North Creek. He was third in the Whiteface Uphill Run in Wilmington, fourth in the Prospect Mountain Road Race in Lake George and fifth in the Lake George to Bolton Adirondack Distance Run. He capped that season by winning the Adirondack Marathon in Schroon Lake. He died in 2005 at age 24.

WEDNESDAY September 30, 2009
Author to discuss journaling Certified instructor, Joanna Tebbs Young will be offering monthly journal writing workshops based on Kathleen Adam’s best-selling book Journal to the Self. Experience the joy of writing in a group while learning how to use the power of writing to: Pray, Meditate, Self-Heal, Become Self-Aware, Trust Your Intuition, and Discover Your Natural Creativity. For more information, visit jlucyjournals.blogspot.com or email j.lucymuses@yahoo.com. In our technological, left-brained, prove-it-to-me society, intuition and connection with our inner self has been lost. We are not taught to trust self. However, writing allows us to discover our inner workings. Through “thoughtless” writing (quickly without thinking) we can write down things we did not know that we knew. Writing is a way to access the answers we have inside us. When you start writing from a prompt such as “I am feeling…” things will come out that may be unexpected. Workshop attendees say such things as, “I didn’t know I was going to write that,” or “I don’t know where that came from!” Kay Adams, founder of Center for Journal Therapy, writes that her journal is the “.79 cent therapist” in which you can “scream, whimper, thrash, wail, rage, exult, foam, celebrate.” A journal can be your best friend; it is always there for you, wherever you are, whatever stage of life, and however you are feeling. In a study by Dr. J.W. Pennebaker it was found through blood tests that writing for only 20 minutes a day for four consecutive days increases your immunity for six weeks. The writers also reported less visits to the doctor for stressrelated illnesses. When journaling there are no rules and no one will be judging you. You don’t have to be a “writer.” Spelling, handwriting, and grammar have nothing to do with it. It is purely the action of putting pen to paper and letting your subconscious flow.

Farm Safety Week focuses on rural roadways By Frederick Pockette
Troopers went too far To the editor: Let me start this letter by saying that I have the highestrespect for our Vermont State troopers. They have a very difficult/dangerous job. Every VST that I have encountered has always acted in a professional manner. That being said, I do believe that there are some VST that do not make the grade that we have come to know and respect in our troopers. Hypothetically, if I encountered an 'unruly' neighbor or person that I could not avoid and I subdued that man with hand cuffs. And then proceeded to give him 9 electric shocks, and spray him with pepper spray several times , and then proceed to beat him to a pulp with the butt end of a flashlight (breaking his jaw, cheekbone and giving him a concussion). I would promptly be charged with attempted murder...along with a host of other charges. And right fully so. Yet, two VST did exactly that. They were not charged with any crime. In fact their boss supported their actions. Really? Once a man is hand cuffed, exactly how much more subdued can you get? If he is resisting/kicking etc...sure, you do whatever it takes to arrest him. But to beat him to a pulp with a flashlight? Let's face it...these two VST went off on this guy. Unfortunately it happens. But it cannot happen to our Vermont State Troopers. It cast a very dark image to the rest of our fine troopers. I know of several female friends who will notdrive at night for fear of being stopped by any police. These ladies do not trust the police anymore. That's a shame. These two VST should be held to the same laws as I would if I had committed this crime. One further note, if, and I say if because we will never know, these two troopers are 'disciplined' that disciplinary action is kept 'private' from the taxpayers/residents of Vermont. Why? Are you afraid of public scrutiny? I think you forget...you work for us. We pay your salary. It's time you did some house cleaning in your ranks, lest you lose the respect of those who employ you.

Farmers should talk to their doctor about driving while on medication. The focus for the 2009 National Farm Safety and Health Week is rural roadway safety. Rural roadways have more than their share of collisions. It is important to be an alert and safe driver to protect yourself and others on the roadway from any incidents this fall. The AgriSafe Network reminds farmers that prescription and over-the-counter medications may impact your ability to drive vehicles or farm equipment safely. Medications can cause sleepiness, blurred vision, dizziness, nausea, and oth-
er side effects. When changing medication or starting a new medication, ask your doctor if there are any side effects that may keep you from safely operating equipment or vehicles. Many medications have warnings against operating vehicles or heavy equipment until you know how your body will respond to the medication. Talk to your doctor about your medications and vitamins. Be an ‘alert, aware and alive’ driver! For more information about health and safety in agriculture, visit: University of Vermont Extension web site at www.uvm.edu/extension or call 800-281-6977, 866-2605603, and AgriSafe Network’s website at www.agrisafe.org
Gov’t loans to benefit Calling all artists! Vermont small businesses Agriculture Secretary Vilsack recently announced that USDA has selected three Vermont organizations to receive $2.0 million in loans to spur economic development. Recipients have been selected for taxpayer-financed Intermediary Relending Program loans that capitalize long term community-based revolving loan funds. These funds, in combination with bank loans, and business equity are often the final component of a business’ financing needs. The program purpose is to create or retain jobs by starting or expanding businesses. Vermont Economic Development Authority’s (VEDA) two loan programs, Vermont Small Business Development Corporation and Vermont 504 Corporation, will have a total of $1.5 million to offer favorable financing to small businesses throughout Vermont. The combined funding is projected to create 40 jobs and save 45 throughout Vermont. Previous USDA Rural Development awards totaling $4.7 million and supporting VEDA’s lending programs have resulted in 182 small business loans, creating 827 new jobs and bolstering 1,588 existing jobs throughout Vermont. The Vermont Community Loan Fund (VCLF) will use their $500,000 loan to expand their small business loan program, helping to save 60 jobs and create two. Cumulatively, VCLF has received $5.2 million from the Intermediary Relending Program, assisting small businesses throughout the state with an aim at providing benefits to low-to-moderate income Vermonters through livable-wage and revitalized communities. They have assisted 173 businesses, bolstering 765 existing jobs and creating 724 new jobs.

GUESTVIEWPOINT P.C. movement threatens free speech
F
ree speech is now under widespread attack in the name of political correctness.
In August, Yale University Press announced that the book “The Cartoons That Shook The World”, should not include the l2 Danish drawings that originally appeared in September 2005 and led to protests by Moslems around the world, including riots and the burning and vandalism of embassies. At least 200 people were killed. Yale also decided to eliminate other illustrations of the prophet Muhammad that were to be included in a children’s book. These included an Ottoman print and a sketch by the l9th century artist Gustave Dore of Muhammad being tormented in Hell, as well as an episode from Dante's “Inferno” that has been depicted by Botticelli, Blake, Rodin, and Dali. This acquiesence to political correctness has been widely criticized. Reza Aslan, a religion scholar and the author of No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, decided to withdraw his supportive blurb from the book after Yale dropped the pictures. The book is a “definitive account of the entire controversy,” he said, “but to not include the actual cartoons is, to me, frankly, idiotic.” Editorially, The Washington Post declared that, “Yale's selfcensorship establishes a dangerous precedent. If one of the world's most respected scholarly publishers cannot print these images in context in an academic work, who can?... In effect, Yale University Press is allowing violent extremists to set the terms of free speech. As an academic press that embraces the university’s motto of ‘Lux et Veritas,’ it should be ashamed.” Mona Eltahawy, an Egyptian-born commentator who writes and lectures on Arab and Muslim issues and is a columnist for the Danish newspaper Politiken, argues that, “Yale University Press has handed a victory to extremists. Both Yale and the extremists distorting this issue should be ashamed. I say this as a Muslim who supported the Danish newspaper JyllandsPosten’s right to publish the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad in late 2005, and as someone who also understands the offense taken at those cartoons by many Muslims, including my mother....” In Eltahawy's view, “Yale has sided with the various Muslim dictators and radical groups that used the cartoons to ‘prove’ who could best ‘defend’ Muhammad against the Danes, and, by extension, burnish their Islamic credentials. These same dictators and radicals who complained of the offense to the prophet’s memory were blind to the greater offense they committed in disregard for human life. (Indeed, some of those protestors even held banners that said, ‘Behead those who offend the prophet.’” ... Unfortunately, those dictators and radicals who want to speak for all Muslims -- and yet care little for Muslim life -- have found an ally in Yale University Press.” The Yale University Press is hardly alone in challenging the First Amendment in the name of political correctness. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), which defends free-speech rights of students and professors across the political spectrum, shows how censorship is now being administered through college and university “speech codes,” which are sometimes incorporated into “codes of conduct.” These edicts ban expressions that may “offend” students by “insulting” or “harassing” them on the basis of race, religion, gender, transgender, political affiliations, and views. FIRE reports that, “77 per cent of public colleges and universities maintain speech codes that fail to pass constitutional muster” despite federal court decisions “unequivocally striking down campus speech codes on First Amendment grounds from l989 to 2008.” The decision to get rid of a book or restrict access to it goes to the very heart of a public library. “Policies should not unjustly exclude materials and resources even if they are offensive to the librarian and the user,” says the Web site of the American Library Association, which adds, “Toleration is meaningless without tolerance for what some may consider detestable.” Nat Hentoff, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and one of the country’s leading advocates of the First Amendment, reports an incident at Brandeis University. Professor Donald Hindley, a faculty member for 48 years, teaches a course on Latin American politics. In 2007, he described how Mexican immigrants used to be discriminatorily called “wetbacks.” An anonymous student complained to the administration and accused Hindley of using prejudicial language. It was the first complaint against him in 48 years. After an investigation, during which Hindley was not told the nature of the complaint, Brandeis Provost Marty Krauss informed him that, “The university will not tolerate inappropriate, racial and discriminatory conduct by members of the faculty.” Threatened with termination, Hindley was ordered to take a sensitivity training class. Hentoff notes that Justice Louis Brandeis, after whom the university is named, would not be pleased. A passionate protector of freedom of expression, Brandeis wrote in Whitney vs. California, “Those who won independence believed... that freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are... indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth.” Do Americans any longer care about free speech and the First Amendment? The 2008 annual State of the First Amendment survey by the First Amendment Center in Nashville found that, “4 in 10 Americans are not able to name any First Amendment right whatsoever, the highest figure in the 11-year history of the survey.” James Madison declared that, “I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” These gradual and silent encroachments upon free speech now underway deserve the resistance and opposition that all assaults upon freedom merit, but, unfortunately do not always receive.
